On April 2, 2019, Prof. Shi Xue Dou and Prof. Hua Kun Liu from the University of Wollongong, Australia visited our university at the invitation of Prof. Yinzhu Jiang. Dr. Dou gave an excellent presentation entitled Strategies for materials design, processing and applications.
The Institute of Electronic and Superconducting Materials (ISEM), Dr. Dou and Dr. Liu's working place, has done world-renowned research work in the fields of electronic materials, superconducting materials and new energy materials, and has established a world-renowned research echelon and top research instrumentation facilities. Dr. Dou introduced in detail the research team of the Institute of Superconductivity and Electronic Materials. He also elaborated on the strategies and methods of material design, preparation and application from interface engineering, energy band engineering, stress and defect engineering and practical applications.
Finally, Dr. Dou re-emphasized the importance of the transformation of results and to further develop more cooperative research with ZJU for constructive projects. Dr. Dou's wonderful speech won the warm applause of the teachers and students in the audience, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and the presentation ended with everyone's unfulfilled desire.
